Krister Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 LOOKS great! A real beauty. Conrats. How's it sound? Red 333 Thanks! It sounds great! It´s so different compared to my previous guitars,Martin D28 marquis,HD28 etc... This sound from the gibson is warm,dry and woody. Flatpicked or fingerpicked, the guitar just sings. No 2 an 8 out of the 16 J35´s made it all the way to Sweden:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotomsdos Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Congradulations ! for your new 5 STAR J-35 ! I just got my new 5 STAR J-35 too ! so comrade ! My FON is 11701001, it means #1 of 170th day of 2011. I saw the FON of another piece displayed on Montana Forum is 11701009 which means #9 of 170th day of 2011. Does it means that mine is just #1 of all the 16 pieces ? What's the FON of yours ? and Does your label read "5 STAR J-35" or "J-35" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rambler Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 What brand is the J-35 like guitar with a strange logo. It's a Borges Barn Dance. Hand-built,spruce (dont know which) on hog. I've played that box, great sound, nice v profile. Hold that endorsement, tho, PG is playing a Fairbanks of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rar Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I had the pleasure of being there when Ren Ferguson got to play one of these J-35s for the first time on Saturday night. He was completely wowed by how great this particular example turned out. Once it was in his hands, he didn't let go until his fingers were too worn out to play anymore, much to the delight of the owner. I'd played it a bit earlier, and decided that my rule of not buying a guitar without hearing it first might need modification, because passing on this one was a huge mistake! -- Bob R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
